It's fabulous that she's messy. It's fabulous that she's sexy. It's fabulous that she's a mature woman over 40 because those are all adjectives that don't usually pertain to women of color.

He says the show is about a suburban family trying to embrace their African-American identity. \u003cbr/\u003e\"My character Andre - is dealing with a promotion at the marketing firm where he works for. He becomes senior vice president. My wife is a successful doctor and we're living the American Dream but I get to work and I'm promoted to senior vice president of the urban division and I just thought I was going to be a senior vice president not compartmentalized just to deal with black stuff and that's what we're dealing with and I have - my son comes home and tells me that he doesn't feel like he's black at all and wants to have a bar mitzvah.
